Due to continued snowfall (no I didn’t help… well, maybe just a little), there is no school today. Of course, you’re not off the hook. Here is what I would like you to do on your day off:
Geometry – Using your geometric tools (compass, protractor, straightedge), build a well-proportioned snowman. After building him/her, find its height using a trigonometric ratio. Or you could just enjoy your day off; your choice. See you tomorrow (I hope…)
Discrete Math – If we assume an initial depth of 1 cm (with continued snowfall), and an exponential growth rate of 5% per hour, determine the depth of snow that would exist by tomorrow morning (24 hours). Assume a compacting rate of 2% per hour. As an alternative, you could just go out and play…
Hoping for no more snow,
Mr. LaViollette
